Flipped channels
Use Flip to control moving lights. Link the channels that control the pan
attribute for moving lights on opposite sides of the stage and Flip one of
the two channels. When you control the two lights using the two wheels,
their movements are mirrored, rather than parallel.
The Flip command inverts the output of the channel to which it is applied.
A flipped channel outputs at full when set to zero and at zero when set to
full.
Use the Channel Attributes display to mark a channel flipped. The flipped
channels will have their outputs inverted. The levels will not appear
inverted on the live display.
Mirroring two moving lights
In the previous example, two moving lights were linked so that they would
match movements. In other words, when one moved up, the other moves
up. When one moves to the right, the other moves to the right, and so on.
In this example, the Flip attribute is used to reverse the pan control chan-
nel. With pan reversed, when one light moves to the left, the other moves
to the right, and vice versa. The lights’ tilt still matches.
All four channels are set as independent to protect the moving lights from
sudden movement when the Grandmaster or Blackout controls are used.
Channels 4 and 5 control pan and tilt for the first light and channels 14 and
15 control pan and tilt for the second light.
